Purpose: Provide example of this file type


Document file type: DOCX
Version: 1.0
Remark:

Example content:
The names "John Doe" for males, "Jane Doe" or
"Jane Roe" for females, or "Jonnie Doe" and "Janie
Doe" for powidely used in the United States and
Canada, but is rarely used in other English-speaking
countries including the United Kingdom itself, from
where the use of "John Doe" in a legal context
originates. The names Joe Bloggs or John Smith are
used in the UK instead, as well as in Australia and
New Zealand.

John Doe is sometimes used to refer to a typical male in other contexts as well, in a similar manner
to John Q. Public, known in Great Britain as Joe Public, John Smith or Joe Bloggs. For example,
the first name listed on a form is often John Doe, along with a fictional address or other fictional
information to provide an example of how to fill in the form. The name is also used frequently in
popular culture, for example in the Frank Capra film Meet John Doe. John Doe was also the name
of a 2002 American television series.

Similarly, a child or baby whose identity is unknown may be referred to as Baby Doe. A notorious
murder case in Kansas City, Missouri, referred to the baby victim as Precious Doe. Other
unidentified female murder victims are Cali Doe and Princess Doe. Additional persons may be
called James Doe, Judy Doe, etc. However, to avoid possible confusion, if two anonymous or
unknown parties are cited in a specific case or action, the surnames Doe and Roe may be used
simultaneously; for example, "John Doe v. Jane Roe". If several anonymous parties are
referenced, they may simply be labelled John Doe #1, John Doe #2, etc. (the U.S. Operation
Delego cited 21 (numbered) "John Doe"s) or labelled with other variants of Doe / Roe / Poe / etc.
Other early alternatives such as John Stiles and Richard Miles are now rarely used, and Mary
Major has been used in some American federal cases.
